Foods to Improve our Vision

马晓山

As we age from forty-four years old, our vision will deteriorate. As practitioners of life cultivation, we infer that our kidneys are performing below par, and that we do not have sufficient blood and nutrients to reach our eyes. Thus we must be careful on what we eat to prevent further vision problems.

This is a normal phenomenon. The main reasons for this to happen are the imbalance of multivitamins and minerals, especially the lack of vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
